Stocking costs will tie his profits in knots AT bill £1500 liar , more like 3k + then the other site costs on top Buying online at BCA is not cheap at all , Period . Having it all prepped by 3rd party guys + mechanical will eat his profit . Selling cheap doesn't mean a guaranteed sale He's one of the many that fools himself . One fine day he will be gone .

" Ok " Are you in a position to take 85 " 85 what " 8 50 , " you mean £8,500 " Yes "Its £9,495 my dear so you want a thousand pound off the price" . Yes " NO " "You want more than we do out of it " But your getting £8,500, what more do want out of it " She says " Customers this week are all on drugs I reckon , had the most dopey requests ever Number 2 I like your Z4 , Its a px 04 plate . Customer request , Can you send me a price to have my sat nav and canton sound system took out of my dads car and put into the Z4 , I will send you my post code so you can arrange to remove the unit from dads car ,also I think the speakers need updating so can you arrange the purchase of 2nd hand ones from ebay as I'm short of cash till pay day . When your man is here to remove Sat Nav i will send you £500 deposit back with him . Then collect on 14th Nov . Its a 14 yr old Z4 , his dad has a 15 plate Octavia , and he is 200 miles away .

Part Time selling cars , Never work . Every one makes the mistake of selling car and earn £500 x it by 8 = 4k suppose you will sell that 8 is every month = 48k a year , Simples Reality is so far from that , believe me , finding stock, fetching stock , prepping stock , dealing with the non sellers as there will be some , waiting for customers , down time time with faults , expenses , VAT , wages , parts , fuel , cleaning products , bills from fixing , tyres . MOT tests , warranty costs , and the list goes on . 12 cars selling part time wont work . Not a matter of getting a £40 day jobber a mate to sort any faults and sell car. More to it than you think my friend . But if you have spare 50/60k kicking around you wont miss go for it , bet you will remember it for a while to come . BUT , nothing ventured , nothing gained , hope it all goes well whatever you choose .

Who pays for the collision during the test drive?
David Horgan replied to Lucas's topic in General Dealer Chat
Agree with you there , Not a hope in Hell , going to lose one sooner or later inc plates too . Or get it smashed up , dented and walk away to leave it to the trader . -
Blue Motor Finance are excellent prime to subprime in one company , fast decisions Same day payout and pay commission with the payout " not next month "

Packed up with dealer auction , fed of wasting our time , get there and i swear its a different car 80% of the time . Haven't done a deal with them for ages , Sytner auction too is same , Even had one that was described as Scratched , Dented ,Painted on rear bumper badly . EML light on , two tyres less the 3mm , one key , and only two services at 50 k . The car was NOT scratched , not dented , had no paint , eml light not on , all tyres excellent , two keys , full seat history with cam belt too . Fishy Fishy as we got it £900 under book for a Cupra R .Just wanted a wash and hoover , Thinking tagged for someone at a price , inside job wink wink or am i getting cynical ,

You had nice neighbours Nick wonder why they don't just realise we are all people . Didn't like foreigners and got them to vote leave lol split my coffee reading that , You were a lucky chap to get the cars back though . Some people just cant mind their own noses can they ? reporting your cars for no tax outside your house . sad lives they lead don't they . We had one neighbour like that "reported my lad who was an apprentice then to the council for working on cars in my garage and running a business " was his own car by the way " she got four speeding fines in one day but she took the 6 month ban quite badly and then suffered a driving while banned ticket too and got an extension ban of 18 mths added and a £600 fine , cant imagine where that report was from Justice is served on a sweet plate . One good turn deserves another .

easy that one drive 400 yds , get out walk back , go 400 yds past the first car , get out walk back , go 400 yds past the second car and repeat till you get home . Two cars back , one pair of shoes knackered , But very fit . "Bonus "

Driver gets the fine not the car Your ticket , I'd pay it or you will be on next episode of " cant pay wont pay we'll take it away " arguing with a bailiff at £800 lol

You got the polite staff Nick at walsall , Worst BCA out there regarding staff , Want to see them in real life, doing doughnuts in any thing tasty , drag starts , max rev from cold , you name it I've seen it there . Even had the yard leader tell one driver to leave the car directly outside the hall exit as I didn't want him flying up the yard flat out after i got the bid .

FCA Authorisation Assistance Needed! (Newbie)
David Horgan replied to Christian's topic in General Dealer Chat
As Nick has said , you will struggle to find a mainstream finance company to work with till you have been trading for a good while . Not a bad idea either as there's good and bad sides to selling finance , not all roses if not done correctly . I know one guy who's neck deep in trouble with three finance firms , sold cars that have come back to haunt him and he cant buy them back , seized engine , clapped box , ecu faults that shut the car down etc , customer gone back to the finance , finance come to him , he cant pay , trouble in the making , not an easy time for a guess . good aim though when you it all in place , can be lucrative too , I've done four on finance today , 3 prime , one not so but still got a commission on it , all good deals for us with profit in the metal too ,. -
Lucky escape I reckon

Giving two day Credit on the slate Nick , "oh dear" , might have you in for retraining I'm thinking We got two out today and I didn't realise it was 1st of Oct till the invoice popped out the printer .

Thats correct i think Brave man buying online in that range of prices with those vendors . Unless you have a large parts bin . Most of them aren't worth the £50 online extra fee never mind the actual bid and fees .
